Singapore’s Park Connector

Network

The Park Connector Network (PCN) was developed to

create a matrix of green connectors linking Singapore's

parks, gardens, and nature reserves. It aimed to

increase residents' accessibility to nature and greenery

while promoting environmental stewardship

The PCN has revolutionized commuting and recreation

in Singapore, allowing residents to cycle or walk

through green corridors. It promotes a healthier

lifestyle, provides a refreshing commute to work, and

contributes to Singapore's goal of becoming a car-light

city (Lee, Zhan et al.2020).

What

The Data will involve :

1. Singapore Maps

2. Park Connector Loop Datasets from Both Nparks

and URA

3. Park Connector Masterplan 2019 from URA

4. Spatial Data of HDBs

5. Spatial Data of Offices and Amenities

Why

By visually representing data related to the network, such as the locations of existing connectors, planned expansions, and areas that require

improvement, data visualization tools can provide a clear and comprehensive overview of the network's availability and connectivity.

Individuals can easily identify the nearest park connectors to their location, helping them incorporate these routes into their daily commutes

or exercise routines. Moreover, data visualization allows users to assess the connectivity between different areas, helping them plan their

routes more efficiently and effectively.

Data visualization also serves as a powerful tool for urban planners and decision-makers. By analyzing and visualizing data on park

connector usage, footfall, and feedback from users, planners can identify which areas are less accessible or lack connectivity. This information

enables them to prioritize infrastructure improvements or additions in these areas, ensuring that the Park Connector Network continues to

expand and enhance accessibility for all residents.

Cloropleth Maps

To represent the spatial distribution of HDB buildings

and highlight areas with limited park connector access

Heat Maps

Possibility to depict the density of park connector

usage and help identify popular areas.

Spatial Overlay

By overlaying commercial and amenities areas onto the

park connector network, you can create a visual

representation of the accessibility of these facilities

from different parts of the network.

Network Diagram (TBC)

Network diagrams can visually represent the

connectivity between MRT stations/HDBs/Commercial

Areas and the park connector network.

Potential Outcome

1. Existing Park Connector Loop Maps

2. Indication of access to park connector networks

3. Spatial HDB Buildings to identify the connected

areas and lack of accesses to support people’s

daily activities

4. Spatial Commercial and/or Amenities Areas to

indicate the potential accessibility from home to

office/amenities (Ini kalo terlalu ambi, kita bisa

focus ke HDB aja sih lol)

5. Identify the accessibility of MRT Station with the

park connector networks.
